Good spot within walking distance of city centre but also easy to access roads out of the city.
Pros:

I liked the free parking, the friendly staff, the delicious food and the attractively decorated public spaces.

Cons:

I wasn't too keen on the location of my bedroom on the ground floor - the closest one to all the public spaces!

The array of breakfast foods was very good, but the space its served in is ridiculously small. It's like a family sized galley kitchen, open at both ends, with no clear direction of traffic flow. There is no room to pass, and guests are trying to select foods on both their left and right. The hot food serving plates are so small, it necessitated the chef to have to constantly be there refilling them, hence blocking guests from being able to access anything! I believe losing a couple of tables to extend the serving space, or reorganizing the bar counter would make all the difference.
